The sales and marketing operations of Magnum Boots USA will move to Portland, creating 10 jobs.

Magnum, with footwear serving law enforcement, military and work uses, is a subsidiary of Hi-Tec Sports USA. That footwear brand's sales and marketing moved to Portland nearly two years ago. Both Magnum and Hi-Tec USA had been located in Modesto, Calif. The global headquarters for Hi-Tec, a brand with British roots, are based in Amsterdam.

Gebhard said Business Oregon, the Portland Development Commission and Greater Portland Inc., assisted with the transfer of the 10 Magnum jobs, providing a grant of less than $30,000 to help pay for information technology improvements at the Portland office. -- Allan Brettman; twitter.com/abrettman
